While we have a rough idea of the visual theme of the new store, its functionality is not yet clear. It has been given the ‘3.0’ monkier however, so it’s safe to expect something significantly different from the current system.

The Wiki page implies that the testing will start later today, PST. However, it is just coming up to 11PM here in England so initial reactions will probably fall to you, dear readers: be sure to watch this post’s comments.

That’s a browser bug; given the choice between the minor flicker you should only be seeing once in a while, and doing away with the nifty gradient at the edges, I think they prefer the former choice. 😉

I am not sure if they changed the storefront for Valve gear, but I was exploring that as well (they link to storefront from steam now) and they are still selling Half Life 2 “Aftermath” mouse pads. Weird. I kind of want to get one cause they are going to be obsolete soon.

I don’t think that’s a ploy Timson, remember GMog is being sold on Steam? It is said that it would be 10$, but you know how prices on Steam are never round numbers like that. So, 9.95$. Also, most back-catalogue games are priced at 9.95$.
